MASTRIANO WOULD ALSO BAN UNIONS CARPENTERS REACT The Republican said he would ban pole dancing in schools, “pornographic books that are in elementary schools,” and critical race theory.

 “Josh Shapiro is in the pocket of that radical, far-left wing school union that is spreading all kinds of propaganda about me,” he said, noting he supported increasing school funding statewide by $850 million while in the state senate.

"Mastriano celebrated Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis’ leadership in Florida and said he would make Pennsylvania a “little Florida.”

“It’s going to be a new day in Pennsylvania,” he said. “Pennsylvania will once again be that shining city on the hill.”

The rally featured a heavy emphasis on conservative Christianity. Pastor Dave Damiani, of Lansdale, Montgomery County, called on his peers to become more involved in politics and called Mastriano “the real deal.”

Mastriano, a retired army officer, has weaved Christian symbolism heavily into his campaign. He has also drawn criticism for his calls for mixing religion into government and association with a man who runs a social media platform known for antisemtic beliefs.

Last week, the candidate promoted 40 days of fasting and prayer ahead of Election Day. The campaign said the abstaining from food would help with restoring “true liberty, as an integral part of the strategy to win the general election in November.”

Jack Posobiec, a political operative, commentator, and prominent conspiracy theorist, was greeted with applause at the event and celebrated Mastriano.

Posobiec, who grew up in Norristown, Montgomery County, said Shapiro’s time as a state lawmaker, Montgomery County Commissioner, and state attorney general was a failure.

“We understand there’s so much a governor can do,” Posobiec said, urging Republicans to vote for Mastriano.

Posobiec said reporters were wrong by pointing out Mastriano’s campaign was having trouble raising money and drawing crowds at some events. He said the polls that show Mastriano trailing Shapiro were wrong and didn’t see the large crowds for the candidate on Saturday in Bucks and Chester counties.

“We are going to take Pennsylvania back,” he said.

Jamie Walker, a New Britain Township activist motivated by the COVID-19 pandemic and mitigation measures in schools, spoke to the crowd and vowed her support for Mastriano. She told the crowd she was a Democrat, but she supports Mastriano after the COVID-19 mitigation measures in schools.

“Pennsylvania parents will never back down when it comes to our children,” she said, calling Shapiro the “embodiment of the Democrat assault on our rights.”

Prior to rally, Mastriano held a VIP reception, but he quickly left after the rally as supporters tried to get his attention to talk to him, shake his hand, or grab a selfie.

The candidate then went a firearm group’s event at a Warminster Township park. The event drew some scrutiny because guns were being raffled at the park with playgrounds and basketball courts nearby."
